How can I run a CA Roscoe RPF in batch?

Products

• Roscoe

Issue/Introduction

Customer would like to execute a Roscoe RPF function external to logging in to Roscoe. Perhaps from a scheduling process or for a regular request for information.

We need to run in batch a Roscoe RPF external to logging in to Roscoe itself. How can this be accomplished?

Environment

Release:
Component: ROSCOE

Resolution

Here is a sample process. Be advised that you are basically running CA Roscoe in a batch mode. You must allocate the required ROSLIBs and the ROSCOE load libraries to accomplish the process. Also, any special Privileges must be assigned in the request as well.  Be advised, this is a SAMPLE ONLY, you must tailor this to execute in your environment.
